I had a colleague that was typing such long answers (before AI era) to a simple question. It felt wrong, but sometimes I didn't even read what I heard him typing for half an hour. I was a new employee and he was responding to my questions, that's why I asked him sometimes. He was let go after 1 month. One of the problems was also productivity issue :)

> Worse: it's a conversation killer. There's nothing to respond to. Your wall of text suppresses dialogue. They can't reply, can't push back, can't clarify. It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness.

This has that slopccato feeling.

It is nothing short of profoundly ironic to quote Jean Baudrillard in this context.

Ironically it feels like that site was itself written by AI.

I agree with the messaging generally, but unfortunately to fight implicitly unprofessional behavior with a terse response like this would look explicitly unprofessional!
